Why is it when you ask a Q that's already been asked.....?

Why is it when you ask a question that has already been asked, someone has to type in a sarcastic comment or snide remark?

So what it's been asked before, not to my knowledge. Besides some people haven't seen it before and haven't had the chance to answer it!!!

In Q Yahoo! There are different ways of asking questions, though the answers may be the same.

    What they are referring to, I think, is the search engine at the top of this page. You can find out if the question your asking has been answered previously (I don't use it much myself). And you know that there are a lot of repeat questions here, mostly by the same people, so it does get old after a while and some people bark about it!

    I don't think anybody means any harm!

    You are also going to get different responses, depending on who answers.

    If you have an intelligent question that you are looking for a serious answer to, feel free to ask it. Don't let the people who are here just to mock others get you down.

    The person who makes the remark must have too much time on their hands since they read every single one of the thousands of questions posted here every day.

    They do it because the answers pop up from previous questions. So that is why people are getting angry with you. They figure you could have read the previous answers that show when you type your question.

    some people are just rude for any silly reason, if they don't want to answer, there are thousands more, yet they have clicked on your question, just to insult you! what a waste of their time, take no notice hon, this is a "questions and answers" site, one day that will register in their brains. keep going babe.

    very good question!

    however i just think there are a lot of people that doesn't have a proper answer & just make a sarky or nasty comment instead. most probably for the 2pts.... as if having these pts will make you king or something

    I was sayin more along the lines of like "hey ive done that too" you know when you try relate to someone in a converstation?

    I don't know, people can just sometimes be rude. But other times there are some questions that get so repetative, it does get a bit annoying--but people don't have to be rude.

    when someone types in something stupid just remember your at a computer screen, seeking advice from people you don't really care about, so just ignore the silly answers.
